I think as teachers, we are natural storytellers. We share our experiences as learners, funny anecdotes that happened to us or those we knew when we were in school. This is part of relating to students. They connect to us more when they understand us better and see that we’ve gone through similar experiences they are going through now. The book I co-authored is very good at telling stories from multiple voices. There are the two authors who share knowledge and background from their perspectives, but the most powerful aspect is hearing the stories from those who lived them. As much as I studied Spanish language and culture and can share stories of what I’ve learned, it’s not the same being a non-Latino. But getting someone who is Latino to share their stories and experiences will help connect with an audience with shared experiences as well as resonating with those that don’t. I know from writing this that as much as I thought I knew a lot, I really knew nothing in retrospect upon having talked with these people and hearing their stories. Sharing some of these stories with my own students has been a powerful experience, too, as they have gained a new appreciation for the human experience.
